DANGER
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE.
CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
Batteries and battery cabinets contain potentially lethal voltages. To avoid electrical shock or burn,
turn of main and control voltages before performing installation or maintenance. Batteries are
energized even when AC power has been disconnected.
WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASSES.
Batteries generate explosive gasses during normal operation, and when discharged or charged.
WARNING
WHEN YOU WORK NEAR LEAD-ACID BATTERIES:
1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid if you
have an accident.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or
eyes.
3. Wear complete eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching your eyes while
working near a battery. If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If acid enters an eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at
least 10 minutes and get medical attention as soon as possible.
4. Be extra cautious when handling metal tools around a battery. If you drop a metal tool near a
battery it might spark or create a short circuit between the battery terminals and some other
metal part. Either event may cause a dangerous electrical shock hazard, a fire, or even an
explosion.
5. Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when
working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuited current
high enough to weld a metal ring or other piece of jewelry, causing a severe burn.
